Question
Hi my name is Amber. I'm a 12 year old girl, with a 6 month old guinea pig and he just won't eat his regular guinea pig food. So i just give snacks. For instance, broccoli,green apples,and strawberries. I just want to know what can I do to get him back to eating his regular food ? If not what type of fruits are best  for him .
    THANKS

Answer
Hi Amber

Am I right in thinking that your piggy ate his regular dry food before?

You need to supply plenty of hay and then you can give lots of different fresh foods. Try carrots, broccoli, apples, grapes, cauliflower, banana, cabbage, lettuce, celery, amost anything.

You can then perhaps try a different brand of dry feed.

Is he eating his fresh foods well or do you think his appetite has become less generally?
